I'd also be interested in testing out their software for a trial but I am not willing to pay 50 GBP + VAT just for trying out a piece of software that I am not sure I even like. Does anyone if there is a possibility to get a free trial (15 days would be enough) of ONE?

I do like it and is my only backtrading tool I use. Must say that I have never tried OV so couldn't do a comparison of the two. It does not have a search engine like some analysis software. I subscribe on an annual basis and since it is priced in pounds, it varies. Just renewed a month ago and it was about $675. You would have to check their homepage to see if they still offer a trial.

Timo,
They do have help areas some in video form, others in text form. I have only had a couple questions I had to direct to them and I think they responded timely. Not sure if they have more data links now, but when I joined you needed to have an account with tos or ib for data feed. I have tos and you can export your trades from tos to one. Learning curve wasn't to bad for me, felt comfortable within a few weeks. They also are connected with Dan Sheridan and he conducts an option training webinar every couple weeks. They keep referring to an upcoming release of a search engine, but don't know when that is planned. I checked their site and you can get a 30 day free trial.

Thank you Larry for your detailed answer as well as for the youtube video. Also thanks at the others for your information.

I really want to test drive ONE but don't like the fact that I have to pay for it. Regarding the recent OV issues, I don't think there is a way around ONE though; especially if I want to backtest strategies like the BB, M3 or BWB styles.

Or does anyone here use any other software for backtesting (e.g. ToS)?

Assuming the Vol model for OV gets back to 7.67, would you prefer OV over ONE?

As far as I see, everything in OV seems more complicated and time consuming over ONE.

I have used ONE for about a year, while with SOM. Now I am using OV because of JL's methodologies are based using OV platform. I liked ONE much better and given all the recent problems with OV, I would move to ONE in no time if they improve their Vol modeling.
